Newbies to B&Q Club* (its free loyalty scheme) can get a £5 off £30 voucher, valid online and in stores. Each voucher will have its own specific end date, at least five weeks from the date you received it. The voucher can be spent on just about anything, with the only exclusions being gift cards, installation and delivery charges, and bulk buys.
If you're shopping in store, scan the voucher's barcode at the checkout.
If you're online, use the code on the voucher. For online orders, delivery's £6, or free if you're spending £75+ (after the discount). Or if you live near a store, click & collect is free.
The T&Cs state your welcome voucher should arrive within a few days of your registration, so bear that in mind if you've got a planned purchase coming up. You need to have opted in to marketing emails in order to be sent the voucher.
There's currently no end date for this offer, but we'll update here if anything changes.
For more savings, see our Home & Garden deals round-up.
B&Q's free loyalty scheme gives members access to exclusive offers and previews, including 10% off key cutting, discounts on Hertz van rental, digital receipts and the occasional voucher. You can choose to have a physical loyalty card, or a digital one via the free B&Q app (Android/iOS).
If you go online to B&Q* you can browse its clearance section for bargains, with 'up to 50% off' a selected range of DIY, home and garden items that changes regularly subject to stock. Delivery's £6 or free on orders of £75 or more, or free if you collect in a store (find your nearest*).
As is the nature of a clearance, stock is limited, so you'll have to move quickly if you see something you want. It's also worth checking if there's a clearance section in your local store, but obviously what's available will vary from place to place.

There are always ways you can save money at B&Q*, so don't assume you can't cut your costs even if there are no B&Q discount codes or sales around at the moment that work for you.
Ways to save money at B&Q include:
Free Click & Collect. This allows you to save on delivery costs by ordering an item online and collecting it from a B&Q store (find your nearest*). Of course, this will depend on your local store having your item in stock.
Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to see in which shops they had most success haggling, and 60% of those who'd tried said they managed to blag a discount at B&Q - so it's probably worth a punt if you're brave enough. Read our Haggle on the High Street guide for more haggling tips.

New and existing members of cashback site Quidco can get an extra £25 cashback if spending £50 or more online at B&Q. Log in via this MSE Blagged Quidco link*, select 'Opt In', and make a qualifying purchase at B&Q via Quidco by 11.59pm on Sunday 20 April, or until 5,000 people have opted in, whichever's first.
You'll get the usual cashback rate in addition to the bonus £25. Newbies to Quidco can also get an extra £17 bonus cashback, though that will only be valid on a different spend of £5 or more at 1,000s of retailers (including B&Q) – and crucially, you'll need to sign up via a different Quidco link FIRST to be eligible – see full info on how the separate extra £17 cashback for Quidco newbies deal works.
Important. Cashback is NEVER guaranteed. Things can go wrong, such as your purchase not tracking properly, so always see cashback as a bonus and not a certainty. For more on avoiding disappointment, read our 6 MAJOR cashback safety rules.
How long does it take to get the cashback?
Your purchase should appear as 'tracked' in your Quidco account within a few hours, but it can take up to seven days. Importantly, confirmation of your cashback (in other words, when it becomes payable to you) can take three to four months, according to Quidco.
For more info, see Quidco's What happens when I make a purchase? and When will I get my cashback? pages.
Exclusions
The following products and services don't count towards the £50 minimum spend: Service bookings, Nest products, Kids' Zone products via click & collect, and gift cards/vouchers.
You also won't qualify for cashback if applying a discount code (including student discount), if using a gift card, and if your purchase isn't fully completed online.
And for full disclosure...
Like MoneySavingExpert, Quidco is part of MONY Group, formerly known as MoneySupermarket Group (full info on this in our Editorial Code). Yet just as we'd never recommend MoneySupermarket over other price comparison sites unless it's best for you, the same applies to Quidco and other cashback sites. Our analysis is always based on what the best deal is, and nothing else.
You may not think of B&Q as a stereotypical Black Friday retailer, but as of Friday 1 November, it has discounted thousands of items in its Black Friday sale, lasting until Monday 2 December.
The sale is across multiple categories including power tools, outdoor, furniture, painting & decorating, electricals and more. From what we've seen, most of the discounts aren't huge, and some sections have a flat discount, such as 20% off selected kitchen cabinets and worktops, baths, and lighting.
There are discounts on well-known brands such as Henry and Kärcher, however many of these can't be price compared as they're only stocked at B&Q and TradePoint (B&Q's trade membership scheme).
Standard online delivery's £6 for orders under £75, or you can click & collect for free.
If you're new to B&Q Club, you can get £5 off a £30 spend to maximise your saving.
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.
